About the WHCA Hilton dinner--- I always thought it was on a Thursday!!?? My calendar for May was fairly clear, but I forgot to check the end of April ------DH has a reunion in Charlottesville and we leave on the last Friday in April. It goes over the week-end, and I'm sick over it!! (I wonder if Jim would miss me if I snuck out of the reunion dinner and went to DC?
Seriously, I'm upset about this. It is the most fun of all the Freeps!!
He looked frail, from the pneumonia I suppose. And there he stood on the podium and behind the stage - with his coat unbuttoned, no scarf around his open collared shirt, and no hat on his head. He was gracious even as he's ill, and stood there as folks posed for photos with him. Folks did the photo thing quickly, thanked him profusely and wished him a speedy and complete recovery - and told him to go get in out of the cold.
He knows how important a public show of support for our troops is. (Not a grammatically correct sentence, I know.)
Stay well, exit. We'll see you whenever you can make it down this way, and we'll miss you in the meantime.
